He is single and is employed in the bleachery at Jewett City where he has been on the pay roll for about eight years. He said he had never seen Payne before the day of the assault which took place in November. On the day in question he was in the Kkitchen of the house where he boards when Payne arrived at the house. There were four, three men and the boarding mistress, in the kitchen. Payne pased a bottle around and the three men drank. Payne then went out and returned about three quarters of an hour later. On Payne's return he and Foster had an alter- cation which resulted in each calling the other vile names. Payne then threatened Foster and Foster in try- ing to protect himself tripped up while wallg:z backwards and fell out the door. _ As he struck the ground Payne fired a shot at him, using a re Jolver.

Shampooing merely seccpd present the bascule type: that is, a bridge which opens vertically. The report is as follows » Chapter 220 of the Special Laws Connecticut, Session of January, 1913, proyides, among other things, that the higbway ~commissioner shall = make further investigation of the railroad bridge over the Thames river between New London and Groton for the pur- pose of détermining a satisfactory method of changing the structure into a highway bridge. In accorGance with this particnlar provision of this act, ~thé highway commissioner makes the followin Te- port. regarding the reconstruction of the said bridge: Any plan for this bridge must rec- ognize first, the fact that this is an old structure discarded by the rail- road company because it is inadequate for present day traffic. Hence, what- ever is done must be- done carcfully and with no absolutely certain knowl- edge of results. Changes in plan will be necessary as the work develops, and an accurate cstimate of the cost is impossible. Nevertheless, as a re- sult of the investigations of several consulting engineers, as wall as of this department, it seems that the re- sults of the proposed reconstryction will be good and the problém success- | fully solvea. 7 An exhaustive study of the condi- tlon of this bridge has b mads, as !provided for by the a requlre- ment, together with twe geners! plans i for the transforming of the sraeture | igto ~ highway bridge and the récon- struction of the bridge itself wii a | suitable foor system to carry h% way travel, including changes in draw span so as to permit the pre. per opening of the bridge for navien tion. The new bridge, at present under construction by the N York, New {Haven and Hartford Railrsad dom- ipany, has been located so clese te the | present structure as to preveat the opening of the present awing wpan without inteyfering with 8 lew structure. ‘onsequently. there must | be some revision of the present Araw span which will permit of the setis- factory opening of both bridges stm- ultaneously without interruption to navigation. There are two been omtiined for i the ends of the | should be cut off plans he recommends the which copsiste (n replacing the w span with a new span of plans which havé this purposs: First, present draw gpan | to such 3 fensth as { to perumdt of its opening without inter- | fering with the new bridse. After this s done, the cnds of ths draw span so cut off should be hung from towers ta be erected on the top of the present rest piers. This plan is opén to many objections siructurally, and.is mereiy presented as being a possible solution of the difficulty. The bester plan to be followed, hov- ever, is tho second which consists in repVicing the present draw span with a new span of the bascule type: that is, a bridge which op~gs vertically Under this plan, the easterly half the present draw span will be pe- placed by a fixed steel bridge, and the | bascule, or moving bridge, will bé - | troduced in’ the westerly half of the {present bridge so as to fwing ths ' channel span of the old bridge and new bridge into exact alignment. plan is recommended since it preseats less difficulties from a structural poigt of view; is more definite in it, and provides a new bridge for at least 2 portion of the stfucture in such -a manner as o be without gerioys doubt as to its ultgnate str . The bas- cule span willrest on fheé present eir- cular pler and open in an opposite direction to_the bascule span of the new railroad bridge. The estimated cost of transforming the bridge under the second scheme, including the cost of convertimg the floor system of the railrcad bridse in- to a highway structure and providin: the new bascule Li n and the fix span over the eastely portion of the present channel, is $300,000. In addi- tion to this, the cost of approaches, including the necessary bridges over the Central Vermont rail and over approaches to the new State dack on the west side of the river, with the construction of the riecessary highway and pavement approaches to the bridge, both east and west, will ap- proximate $150£00 more, making the total cost.of the improvement $450,090. In connection with the above mat- ter, the first question which must bé asked is: Shall the improvement be undertaken: that is, is there need of a bridge across the Thames river at New London? Without extensive ar- sument, this guestion may be answer- ed in the affirmative. Thers is Do questian that in order to complete the highway system of the state 'and properly serve the towns of New Lon- don and Groton, there should be. a quick means of crossing the Thames river at New London for trolley cars, automobiles and other vehicular traf; fle. . FFurthermore, the state has algeady committed itsélf by previous legisla- tive acts to the taking of this rallroad bridge over from the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. Having established the necesslty for the reconstruction of *this bridge, it remains to be seen whether the im- provement, either in full or in part, ould be financed by the state. In scussion of this question, it is inter- esting to note that act (namaty ch. 300, Special Acts 1918), praétically pledging the state to the taking of this bridge, reserved to the grantor the right to comstruct, maintain and op- this bridge W.

In this connection, it is faif to sug- gest that future receipts from tolls should be applied—first, to the main- tenance of the bridge itself; second, to the payment of the interest on the original investment; and third, to the blishment 6f a sinking fund which be applied to the retirement of serial bonds maturing after a spe cific thrm of years; that s to say, first bond to matire in five or years and _the remainder se thereafter, The amount fo be recely o4 trem tolls should, therefore, be es- timated, and the tol} ko fixed as to revurn ap annual amount to the swate whieh sheuld provide for the above items of Coat. In this conmection, the life of the structure should be assumed ns 25 years and gll cAleulations made on that basis. There is, of course, a ma- torial ebjection to placing a toli bridg between twe tewns of such character as New London =nd Groton where the local trave] wouid be fairly heavy and where thery would be a distinct ob- jeétion en the part of the local peo- Dle to the payment of a toll to cross thé bridge. 1t is interesting to yote, in further considérstion of Chapter 220 of the Speeinl Acts of 1915, that tho ratlroad cermpany has not yet presented a sat- isfactory - dedication of this bridze to the sais of Comgecticut and that the 5 perment of $1 authorizéd by the ng legiblature has not yet been e this matter tover is done in should be done promptl reilrogd company is pro eonstruction of its heut delsy, and it Is the expecta- tien that this pew bridge will be com- pleted on or before January 1, 1918, at which time the state highway de- pertment must be ready to go ahead grvmp"lv with the removal of the resent 4raw span and must have plans ard material readv. A year is & very short time to make the neces- sary arrangoments. It must further be understood that the work to be done on the bri it- self i3 werk which is of necess in- determinate and a ¢ertain part of it must be dope witheut competitive bids. Consequently, whatever approprlation ts made for thé reconstruction of this bridse should be made in sueh a man- ner that the state highway depart- ment may proceed with the work witheut the necessity of advertising bids in open competition. As a result of the above, the under- signed highway coimmissioner, there- tore, recommends: Firet, that ap appropriation suffi- clent to carry éut the work may be made under either one of the two abavé plan: Sécond, that the state highway com- missioner be authorized to proceed with the wosk of reconstructing th! bridge immediately.

Fourth, that in the event of the scc- ond meéthod of financing (his bridge being adopted, that is the proposal whereby the state assumes the entire cost and the bridss becomes a toll bridge, that a satisfactory plan of fi- nancing and retiring bonds may be worked out so that the inve may be retired at the end of twe: five years.
